Since the tender age of 8, Samantha has expressed an innate and sincere desire to ease suffering of others and leave the world a better place. Most of her ideas and childhood “projects” were built upon the foundation of making others “feel better” or fostering hope in tragic situations. Samantha’s natural character strengths made counseling an ideal professional match, which she honors with integrity and passion. During her many years of education, Samantha also developed, accidentally, a love for entrepreneurship. She has had several ideas that were explored but not executed for various reasons until she, with her husband, dreamt up KhoSpace – the first boutique co-working space designed just for mental health and helping professionals!

​

In addition to helping others, Samantha has a few other “in another life” identities. Before pursuing counseling, Samantha obtained a masters in public relations and wanted to be the next Today Show host! She briefly lived in Los Angeles and was into the Hollywood and PR scene for a while, but realized it didn’t feel authentic. She loves sugar and sweets and wanted to spread her love through baking, but realized while she may have the talent, she didn’t have the drive to wake up at 3 am every day! Lastly, Samantha absolutely loves dogs! Her mini goldendoodle, Georgie, is the apple of her eye and “totally has me wrapped around his paw… I think when I have kids one day, I’ll be in trouble!”
